Yet another card.......

I decided to blog this one as I think it came out quite well, by accident !! I found some old decoupage sheets from when I first started with this card making lark and thought I would use it up. Started by stamping the swirls (La Blanche)with peeled paint distess ink, then remembered I had the Tall Grasses stamp (EZMount Art Stamp) then blended with a little peeled paint and dabbed around with broken china ink to create the sky before fixing the ducky decoupage ! Hope you like it.

Cards for charity...

I am making some cards for a couple of charities...I wont blog them all , its ok!! Here are a couple of them.....the guitar one is actually on a white A6 card !

Tag book....

Apologies for the lousy picture! Had to squish it in the scanner as still no camera! Made this little tag book at the weekend workshop with Katy Fox at www.bubblyfunk.co.uk. The tags are samples of distress ink techniques, which are labelled on the back so I dont forget what I did!

Really enjoyed the workshop, lovely people ......and coffee and cake!! Thanks to Caroline and Katy for a fab day.

some more cards....

Just a few cards..the bottom one was for my nieces' birthday and the others inspired by a workshop at www.bubblyfunk.co.uk last weekend .

Altered thimble shelf

I made this some time ago but never got round to putting it on here. The thimble shelf is one of several I bought at a car boot back last summer & measures about 6inches square plus the top bit. I was inspired by a tv program about a house full of collectables & antiques - this reminds me of a little junk shop ! I know - Weird !!

Heres another one...

The stamps, BTW , are mostly from PaperArtsy. This one is really simple but works I think.

A bit different......

Well its been a while ! Anyway here I am with some cards to get me started again (need to get a new camera as mine is now defunct ! Cards I can scan.) These are a bit different to my usual style ....but I really like them! What do you think?

First art journal page.......

This is my first art journal (the cover is a few posts back) and I am not at all sure I have the right idea !! If not will someone please let me know? It feels a little like a mini scrapbook......

A couple of cards......

More grunge pages........

Vintage memories.........Create your dreams

Journey in time .........Come fly with me

The wheels go round ......................So the saying goes

Fun with letters...................Wish you were here

Art journal workshop

I went to have a look at a new craft shop in the town and ended up booking a place for this workshop ! Thoroughly enjoyed doing it and the company too - thanks to Caroline for hosting the workshop.
Anyway, this is the front cover of my journal, the idea is to do a page a month, so will blog as I go!

The online store is www.bubblyfunk.co.uk

Collage on canvas - Sanctuary

Another theme which has been floating around in my brain, strange what goes on in there ! The background is some gorgeous K&co paper followed with some PaperArtsy stamping then the "tree" etc is made from plaster bandage which has been painted with H20 s

Altered thimble shelf.....

Not the best photo in the world but hey ho ....... I bought several thimble display shelves at a car boot back in the summer..
This is the transformation of one of them.

Natures Spirit

This piece is part painting, part stamping and lots of bit of other stuff - so guess it qualifies as a collage! It is just something I had in my head for ages so decided to to "download" it, lol !!

The stamps are from the fabulous PaperArtsy range.

Sam, I have been in a crafting desert for a while so have had very little to blog!! Thanks for your comment , hope you all had a great xmas and new year too. xx
